Text to Anakin:

I won't say life's calm, but it's calmer. What did I miss? Are you all right?

He smiles, just a little. "Nine. That memory of us is meeting is nearly smack in the middle of what I remember, now."

Anakin was thoughtful for a moment, chewing on his bottom lip, like he wanted to ask something but maybe he shouldn't ask it.

"If... we remember same events... Do you know-" Anakin decided to go for it. "Maybe you know- will these memories get better?"

That was enough to get him out of his chair and going to stand near Anakin, in a place he could look him in the eye. "I can't promise you any information about what might happen after my memories stop, but yes. It gets better. They will get better. You get off Tatooine and out of slavery."

Anakin sighed, appreciating that Obi-Wan was willing to tell him.

"Thanks. I needed to hear that... What is your life like in your memories?"

"Decent." So many things he could say - about Qui-Gon, about The Chosen One, about feelings of rejection and fear. About seeing Qui-Gon die and about the feel of that 'laser sword' cutting through a body. He doesn't, though. "Space warrior monk, little green men and you becoming my apprentice. Big cushy temple and bad hair."

"Do you want to explain the 'space warrior monk' part?" Anakin asked.

"I really, really do not." Which did not mean he would not and he sounded amused, but it was confusing and a lot.

Anakin took Obi-Wan at his word and nodded, letting it go.

"I guess... When do you want to go over those mental exercises?"

"Let's go in the living room and do it now. Elsa can get in the way and keep us from taking ourselves too seriously." He didn't even think when he put his mug down and - held his hand out for Anakin's.

Anakin eyed the hand, because... well it was unusual.

"Is holding hands part of learning the techniques?" he asked with an amused look on his face.

He flushed deep red and dropped the hand. "Probably not necessary. If nothing else you won't fall, here?"

Anakin didn't try to hide his smile. He had just a handful of memories of Ben - Obi-Wan in his memories - which was odd, wasn't it, that Ben should have a different name in a past life, and Anakin didn't... But from what he did have in his mind about 'Obi-Wan' was that he very much looked up to the man. Anakin wasn't trying to make it weird, it was just interesting to see some mannerism from the memories come up.

"I'm pretty good at sitting, I think I'll be fine tonight. Lead the way."
